That's a long way of saying "I don't believe in rehabilitation or spent convictions."
EDIT: I've never seen someone who is right resort to blocking people. Seems like an easy way to shut down conversation without having to justify your position.

But, therefore what?

He needs to invent something or win a world-wide competition at something. Then they’ll call him a Briton again and welcome him back.

People ignore this a lot.
The problem with pensions is very temporary, it’s all just a question of when Boomers start dying off. And it’s even more aggressively temporary because the generation after is much much smaller.

What’s with French Presidents? It seems every 8ish years a president that was decent becomes an absolute garbage leader.

A lot of the small arms they’ve been shipping have been intercepted by the US Navy and sent to Ukraine.

This bill needs to be passed. It can come with anger and he can even lose his seat in the next election but somebody has to do it. Pretending that it isn’t necessary does not make it unnecessary.

First of all, this joke isn't funny anymore. And has never been funny, by the way. Secondly, explaining the joke makes it even worse.

I'd imagine a big contributing factor is the fact they've got bigger fish, Russia, wanting those weapons instead

Why spray fuel when you're on a collision course with the drone anyway? I think it was really incompetence coupled with playing with fire at the speeds.

No, if that's what I meant then I would have said that; don't try to justify your straw man by pretending you're reading between the lines.
Edit: > But, therefore what?
But therefore he's the least sympathetic victim of the Windrush scandal. If you need more help understanding, I'd start with this.
